FP7 Anastasia• Efficiency of generators is

limited by thermal and electrical strength of its insulation.

• Traditional insulating materials and well established tape structures far behind the current state of the art insulating materials.

• A small efficiency increase (+0,2%) equals a substantial energy saving (1.5 bn €)

FP7 Anastasia• limitations originate in multilayer structure.

• Homogenisation requires higher performance materials, obtained by adjunct of inorganic nanofillers

• Two proposed approaches: nanodielectrics polymer or inorganic polymers (sol-gel).
